Thinking about becoming a CNS, but have approximately 14.2 questions? 😅

Perfect. That’s what the mentorship Q&A sessions are for.

Come ask about:
✔ supervised practice
✔ the internship experience
✔ the CNS pathway
✔ building a future practice
✔ what this whole process actually looks like in real life

No pressure. No awkward sales pitch. Just honest conversation and a chance to see if this path feels aligned for you.

📅 6/4 @ 7 PM ET
📅 6/10 @ 1 PM ET

Honestly…lurking quietly in the Zoom is also acceptable.

Launching your website feels like jumping off a cliff 😅

Meanwhile, in reality:
3 people visit it
1 is your mom
1 is you checking for typos
and 1 accidentally clicked the link 💅

Your website does not need to be perfect to go live.

It’s a living thing - more like a garden than a final exam. You can grow it, refine it, move things around, rewrite things, and improve it over time.

A simple website that exists is infinitely better than the “perfect” one still sitting in drafts.

Traffic comes from consistency, content, and time - not from waiting until everything feels flawless.

What’s holding you back from launching yours?

Fun fact: becoming a CNS involves more than just passing an exam 😅

There are supervised practice hours, documentation, clinical experience, and yes… the famous SPE tracker spreadsheet.

Character building, honestly.

It’s a daunting spreadsheet, but you don’t have to do it alone. TNHC supervisors are here to guide and support you through the SPE tracking tool…we do the heavy lifting so you can do the learning!

One of the biggest reasons newer practitioners question themselves? They’re comparing their beginning to someone else’s year 3 😅

A recent intern told me this sentence completely changed her perspective: “Don’t compare your insides to other people’s outsides.”

You’re seeing someone confidently interpreting labs, running consults, posting educational content…but you’re not seeing the years of awkwardness, uncertainty, studying, mistakes, growth, and practice it took to get there.

Confidence in clinical nutrition isn’t something you magically wake up with. It’s built slowly - one client, one question, one experience at a time.

Ever wonder what life looks like after the internship? 👀

Rebecca chats with TNHC grad Tasha Manigo-Bizzell - CNS, Reiki master, yoga teacher, esthetician, wellness leader, and owner of Muse Wellness.

Tasha now leads the Employee Wellness Program for Baltimore County Public Schools while also building her own wellness business and teaching writing workshops at Awaken Align Yoga.

Proof that there’s no one “right” way to build a career as a CNS.

Watch the interview and get inspired by how Tasha blends clinical nutrition, creativity, mindfulness, and community into her work 💫

Digestive supplements are like seasoning.
Helpful when used correctly…chaotic when you throw them at every symptom 😅
Bitters before meals.

Glutamine for gut lining support.
Prebiotics for feeding beneficial bacteria.
Probiotics for microbiome support.
Ginger for motility + digestion.

The key isn’t taking more supplements.
It’s understanding:
👉 what they do
👉 who they’re for
👉 when to use them

Because not every digestive symptom needs the same approach. 💅 Read the full blog - link in bio (or below!)

Building a nutrition practice is basically realizing there are 47 different ways to work with clients…and none of them come with instructions 😅

One-off sessions.
Packages.
Memberships.
Group programs.

There’s no single “correct” model - the best one is the one that:
✔ supports your clients
✔ fits your energy + lifestyle
✔ actually works for your business

Because client retention usually isn’t about “convincing” people to stay. It’s about creating a structure that helps them feel supported over time.

And spoiler alert: Most health goals aren’t solved in one appointment and a PDF ✨
What are you doing for client retention when it comes to follow-up consultations?

Naming your business feels fun…until you realize you’ll be typing, spelling, explaining, and tagging it forever 😅

Your business name should reflect you - but it should also make it easy for people to find, remember, and connect with you in the digital world.

Creative is great. Impossible to connect to your name? Maybe less great.

Ever wonder what life looks like after the internship? 👀

Rebecca chats with Erika Dycus, a TNHC grad who’s a nurse-turned-nutritionist running her full-time insurance-based practice. Erika is successful not just because she is business savvy but because she is heart-forward. She really cares about her patients, and it shows!

Erika was a guest panelist for TNHC in April on insurance-based practices, sharing her wisdom and knowledge!

Watch the video and get inspired for your own CNS journey as Erika talks about her success as a CNS in Illinois!
